After watching a number of reviews today on the Xiaomi Mi A2 I am revising my previous thoughts on not recommending it as a best budget device for 2018. My primary objection was the lack of microSD storage expansion, but upon looking at a few reviews and confirming that this device does have EIS in 1080p and because there are lots of far more expensive phones out there with 64 GB storage I am revising this and adding to my list of best budget phones for 2018.

The price has also dropped quite a bit, especially on the Gold version on Gearbest which today is showing only $209.
